Really, the biggest semiconductor manufacturer in the world with tons of customers cannot exist without Apple ?
- stefanfisk 4y agowithout Apple, TSMC would likely not have been able to finance lead it currently has.
- arroz 4y agoTSMC would exist without apple, it just would be way less relevant TSMC started becoming relevant because apple switched from Samsung to TSMC way back in in the second iPhone if I am not mistaken They started getting a lot of cash and investing it back in RnD, and with time got to where they are now, leading the industry by far with only Samsung capable of providing somewhat competing technology but with much smaller market share
- smoldesu 4y agoI think that's total conjecture, they were very competitive long before they started catering to $PHONECO: https://www.tsmc.com/english/dedicatedFoundry/technology/logic https://www.tsmc.com/english/dedicatedFoundry/technology/log...
- klelatti 4y agoCompetitive but not the leader in logic. And don't forget that TSMC's advances have helped AMD to complete with Intel.
- MikusR 4y agoiPhone 6 was the first with soc made at TSMC. iPhone 4 was the first with apple designed soc, but still made at Samsung.
